Should Oregon Fans Be Worried Yet?

Chip Kelly probably wishes the bleeding would stop in Eugene, OR. Kelly has done almost everything that he can to make the best out of what has become a very ugly off season within the Duck camp.

Just this morning Kelly announced that LB Kiko Alonso will be suspended for the season following his DUI arrest early Saturday morning. Kelly also has kicked WR Jamere Holland off the Duck team for making comments about the coach and racial slurs on facebook.

Most duck fans though are still waiting on the outcome of star RB LaMichael James whose court date is set for March 24th on battery charges.

Kelly has done a good job of controlling the situation in Eugene as best as he can. The media is starting to question some of Kelly's decisions but as anyone knows the media that is bound to happen. Kelly just needs to start being a little more specific about why players are being suspended or kicked off and why some players are still being able to participate in all activities even though their actions might be more severe. All the media needs to do is get a scent that something is not right in Eugene and it will be all over it. I got faith in Coach Kelly that he plays this the right way for the long term of the program.
